Malcolm,
I think I'm finally starting to get somewhere with this. I assigned
my hidden field the initial 0 value
seen_updates = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.HiddenInput, initial=0)
I was thinking that I could just do the following
'request['seen_updates'] = '1'' in my view and just resend
ContactForm(request.POST). However, I guess I can't assign a value to
a POST element. So does that mean I need to create a data field that
populates my entire form again
data = {'seen_updates': 1'',
... 'b_name': request['b_name'],
... 'b_address': request['b_address'],
... 'b_city': request['b_city']
etc....}
f = ContactForm(data)
return render_to_response('checkout_form.htm', {'fo': f})
Thanks
